BLOOD ORCHID
Currently, Barbara is working on a new project for the 2018/21 seasons titled:
“Blood Orchid: How Women Feel”

Conceived as a multi-media project, Blood Orchid: The Concert will include powerful cover songs written by or made famous by well-known women singers such as: If you go away/Ne me quitte pas – Edith Piaf,  I can’t make you love me – Bonnie Raitt, I feel Good – Nina Simone, Every Grain of Sand – Nana Mouskouri, A Case of You – Joni Mitchell, I wanna be evil – Eartha Kitt, The Rose – Bette Midler and many more.
Barbara will also sing several of her own compositions such as  Body and Lullaby for a deep sleep, and other songs that are currently being composed.

Until 2013, Barbara had remained devoted to the composing and performing of her own material exclusively. Of these works, videos for “Lullaby for a Deep Sleep” and “Body” have aired extensively on PBS.
